Chapter 3
Practice makes perfect
It was pouring by the time Ezreal and Ahri left the restaurant.
"Shit. Wait here, I'll go get us an umbrella." Ezreal said.
Ahri nodded as she watched Ezreal run over to a street vendor and quickly bought an umbrella.
When Ezreal returned to Ahri and opened the umbrella, they realized that it was barely enough to cover both of them.
"Come on, Ahri, I'll walk you home." Ezreal said, smiling slightly.
Ahri blushed a little and took Ezreal up on his offer.
Ahri sneezed as they were walking.
Ezreal stopped for a little, took off his jacket, and put it over Ahri's shoulders. He also moved the umbrella over to Ahri's side.
"Ezreal, you don't have to do this… I mean, your shoulder's getting soaked…" Ahri said, with a worried expression.
"It's fine. As long as you don't get wet." Ezreal said, smiling.
Ahri looked at the ground and blushed. "T-Thanks…" she said.
"No problem." Ezreal answered.
They continued their walk in silence, and in a few minutes they reached Ahri's building. Ezreal made sure to walk her all the way to her door.
"Thanks, Ezreal." Ahri said, giving his jacket back.
"It's fine. I don't want you catching a cold." Ezreal said.
"Alright then, I'll be leaving now. See you tomorrow?" Ezreal asked.
"Yep." Ahri said.
The door closed.
"I love you." Ahri whispered.
The next morning, Ahri and Ezreal met up and walked into the Institute together.
"So we make a right here, and it should be… the third door on the left." Ezreal said.
In front of them was a mahogany door. DREAM TALENT was etched onto a gold plate on the door.
"Seems like this is the place." Ezreal said.
They walked through the door and was greeted by a tall man. He wore an expensive-looking suit and his hair was slicked straightened some papers and looked up.
"Hey, you must be Ezreal and Ahri? He asked.
They both nodded.
"Great, this must mean you both got the letters we sent you. Take a seat, and we'll start with introductions." He said.
Ezreal and Ahri sat down across from him.
"My name's Jared, and I'll be your manager starting today." He said. "Both of you auditioned and we decided to accept you guys, as well as Katarina, Talon, and Zed."
"Were there any other groups that were accepted?" Ezreal asked.
"There's another talent agency on the other side of the Institute that accepted Jarvan's group. But aside from them, there are no others." Jared explained.
"Then why did you call both of us over here when there were only two groups accepted?" Ahri asked.
"Yes, that. We were a little unsure of which performance we liked better. Since the votes were split 50/50, we decided to accept both groups. We then ended up merging both of your groups."Jared said.
Ahri tried her hardest to contain her excitement. Becoming an idol was great, but being and idol in the same group as Ezreal? This was beyond her wildest dreams.
"If you have any objections, then speak up now." Jared said.
"No, this is good." Ahri said.
"I don't see a problem with it either." Ezreal added.
"Great! We'll do some paperwork, then I'll take you guys to go see what we have in the back." Jared said.
About half an hour later, they were done with paperwork.
"Alright, guys. I'll show you around." Jared said.
Ahri and Ezreal followed him down the hallway and stopped in front of an elevator. Jared pushed the UP button and they waited for the car to come. A few moments later, they stepped inside the elevator. Jared pushed 2F on the panel and the doors closed. The elevator went up and stopped after a while.
When the doors opened, they walked out into a huge room. A mirror made up one side of the room, and other three walls were decorated with posters from Sona's concerts, posters from Pentakill tours, and even a poster with Ahri on it. Speakers hung from the corners of the room, and the floor was all polished wood. Chairs were folded against a side wall, and a black leather couch sat opposite the mirror. Light fixtures hung from the ceiling.
"This is the main dance practice room. There are a few smaller ones just like this on the next floor, but this one is the biggest one." Jared said. They then walked to a door on the other side of the room, which Jared opened for them. On the other side of the door, there was a hallways with doors on both sides. Jared opened the first one on the right and the three of them walked in.
"This is one of our many recording studios. This is where you'll be when you work on songs." Jared explained.
Ezreal walked over to what seemed like a dashboard with lots of buttons, dials, and lights.
"That's the AVM desk, Ezreal. That's what the producers will be using to make instrumentals for your songs." Jared said.
Ahri spotted a door at the side of the AVM desk and opened it. It lead to another room, which was set up with a few chairs and mic stands.
"Can I try out the mics?" Ahri asked.
"Sure, go ahead. I'll set everything up for you." Jared said. Jared typed a few words, clicked a few times, and gave the machine over to Ahri for a bit.
"Go ahead and choose what song you'd like to sing for us, Ahri."
Ahri chose a song and went back into the mic room. She sat down on the chair and put on the headphones.
The music started, and Ahri started singing.
A/N : Song - Genie by SNSD
Korean song setup, I don't own the song, etc.
소원을 말해봐~
(Tell me your wish)
니 마음속에 있는 작은 꿈을 말해봐
(Tell me that small dream you have within you)
니 머리에 있는 이상형을 그려봐
(Draw that ideal person you have inside your head)
그리고 나를 봐
(Then look at me)
난 너의 Genie야, 꿈이야, Genie야
(I'm your genie, your dream, your genie)
Ezreal couldn't take his eyes off of Ahri as he watched her sing through the window.
드림카를 타고 달려봐
(Get in your dream car and speed off)
넌 내 옆자리에 앉아
(You're sitting next to me)
그저 내 이끌림 속에 모두 던져
(Just throw everything into my guidance)
가슴 벅차 터져버려도
(Even if your overwhelemed heart was about to explode)
바람결에 날려버려도
(Even if it all flies away in the wind)
지금 이 순간 세상은 너의 것
(Right now, this moment, the world is yours)
Ahri caught Ezreal staring at her and winked at him. Ezreal blushed instantly and looked away. Ahri smiled as she began singing the chorus.
그래요 난 널 사랑해
(That's right, I love you)
언제나 믿어
(You can always believe in me)
꿈도 열정도
(Dreams, passions)
다 주고 싶어
(I want to give them all to you)
난 그대 소원을 이뤄주고 싶은
(I'm wanting to answer your wishes)
행운의 여신
(Your goddess of fortune)
소원을 말해봐
(Tell me your wish)
(I'm genie for you, boy~!)
소원을 말해봐
(Tell me your wish)
(I'm genie for your wish~)
소원을 말해봐
(Tell me your wish)
(I'm genie for your dreams~)
내게만 말해봐
(Tell it to me only)
(I'm genie for your world~)
Ahri took off the headphones and signaled for Jared to stop the song. Jared stopped the song and Ahri walked back into the AVM room.
"So, Ez~ What did you think?" Ahri asked, smiling.
"I wish I was as good as you, Ahri." Ezreal said, laughing nervously.
"Don't worry Ez~! You'll get better~"
"Well, looks like the mic in this room works. We're still getting things set up around here, but we should be finished by next week. You can come in anytime this week to use the dance practice room, but most of the recording rooms are off-limits until we can get everything in place." Jared said.
Jared took Ezreal and Ahri a little further down the hallway, and into a room filled with exercise equipment.
"This is the workout room. We'll have you on a strict exercise schedule until you debut, and after your debut, it's going to be your responsibility to come here and keep your body in shape." Jared said.
They walked back to the elevator through the dance practice room, and Jared hit the button for the third floor. After a bit, the elevator doors opened and the three of them walked out into a spacious room.
"This is the lounge. This is where you'll probably be when you're taking a break from working on songs, or if you just want to hang out for a bit." Jared said.
Ezreal and Ahri walked around the room and took a look at everything. There were a few black leather couches set up near a huge flatscreen TV.
"Now this." Jared said, putting a hand on the TV.
"130-inch flatscreen. You can watch movies, watch performances from other groups, et cetera. We'll also be up here watching your music videos after we're finished making them."
Below the TV, there was just about every game console you could want. Towards the back of the room, there was a pool table set up. Two vending machines stocked with snacks and drinks sat in the back corner.
The three of them walked through the lodge and reached a door at the other end. Jared opened it for them, and they walked into a wide hallway.
"This is where the smaller dance practice rooms are." Jared explained.
Ahri opened a door and walked into a practice room. It was set up just like the bigger one downstairs. A mirror made up one side of the room, chairs were folded against a wall, and a couch sat opposite the mirror. The floor was polished wood, just like the one downstairs. Posters from various concerts hung on one wall.
"If you want some practice alone, or if you're working on a solo project, the smaller rooms are probably better for you to use than the main practice room. Otherwise, you're going to be using the main practice room most of the time." Jared explained.
They walked out of the practice room and down the hall a little more. Jared opened another door, and they walked in.
"This is the makeup room. We make you guys look pretty here before we have you go down the hall into the music video set." Jared said.
They walked out of the makeup room and down the hallway until they reached another door. Jared opened it, and they walked into a huge, empty room. The ceiling had to be at least twenty feet high, but other than that, it was a huge room with absolutely nothing in it, with the exception of light fixtures that hung from the wall.
"This is the music video set. It nice and big, and we can change it to look like anything we want." Jared said.
Jared walked over to a handle sticking out of a wall, and pulled it. He pulled out a small table, and flipped a switch on the side. The surface of the table powered on, revealing a variety of room options to choose from on a touch screen. Jared chose a room option, and the huge room they were just standing in changed into an exact replica of a street in Piltover. Jared chose another option, and they were standing on a beach. Jared hit RESET and the room went back to being empty.
"As you can see, we can change this room to look like whatever we want for a music video. We can also add more sets to this table. You'll be here when we make music videos. Before that, though, we'll need to record the song downstairs, have you guys learn the dance and know it inside out, then we get to start thinking about the music video." Jared said.
He pushed open a panel next to the set selection table to reveal a storage room. Inside it, Ahri and Ezreal saw expensive-looking cameras and other things needed to make a music video.
"This is where we keep all the cameras and greenscreens. We'll be using the cameras, but we keep the greenscreens here just in case we can't use the room for a set." Jared said.
They exited the set, walked back down the hallway, through the lounge, and into the elevator. Jared hit 1F and the elevator moved down. After a few seconds, the three of them walked out into the room they first saw when they entered.
"And this is the lobby. When we get set up, there's going to be a receptionist here." Jared pointed to a front desk sitting in the middle of the room. "Bathrooms are around the corner on the other side of the lobby, and the elevator to the other floors is in the direction we just came from.
"Alright, so that concludes the tour. Do you have any questions?" Jared asked.
"Nope." Ezreal said.
"Alright, so when you get back, tell the others that they were accepted, and you can take them on a tour next week when we get set up, alright?" Jared said.
"Alright, no problem." Ahri said.
They said goodbye to Jared and walked back out into the Institute.
"So what did you think of him, Ezreal?" Ahri asked.
"Well, he seems like a cool guy, and he was pretty nice as well." Ezreal said.
"I agree. He seems like he'll be fun to work with." Ahri said.
They walked a little until they saw the giant clock the Institute had inside their main lobby.
"It's 11 already?" Ezreal asked.
"Ez, let's go to the cafeteria to get stuff to eat before we go back." Ahri said.
"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry as well." Ezreal answered.
An hour later, Ahri and Ezreal were back in the dorm section of the Institute grounds.
"Alright Ez~, I'll go tell Kat that we got accepted. You go tell the other two, okay~?" Ahri said.
"No problem." Ezreal said.
They said goodbye to each other and went back to the dorms.
Ezreal stopped in front of Zed's room and knocked.
"Come in."
Ezreal opened the door and waved to Zed.
"Hey man." Ezreal said.
"Did you hear anything about the results for the auditions?" Zed asked
"Yeah, Ahri and I went to the talent agency earlier and they told us that both of our groups were accepted." Ezreal said, smiling.
"Why two groups?" Zed asked.
"Our groups were merged. We're in an idol group with Ahri and Kat now. I'm not sure how it works just yet, but they're going to be all set up next week. The five of us are going to the talent agency, and we're going to start work on debut." Ezreal said.
Zed tried his hardest to suppress his excitement.
"Alright, man. I'll be leaving now. See you next week?" Ezreal said.
"Yeah." Zed answered.
Ezreal walked out and closed the door. The second the door closed, Ezreal heard Zed celebrating. He smiled and jogged towards Talon's room.
A few minutes later, Ezreal opened the door to Talon's room.
"Talon?" Ezreal said.
Talon was nowhere to be found.
Ezreal pulled out his phone, swiped to the right, and looked for Ahri's number.
A few seconds later, Ahri picked up.
"Hey, Ez, do you know where Kat is?" Ahri asked.
"No, I can't find Talon either." Ezreal said.
"Well, knowing them two, they should be fine. Let's check back in a few hours, and maybe they'll be back. You wanna go shopping with me~?" Ahri asked.
"Sure, I have nothing planned for today anyways." Ezreal said.
"Alright~! Meet me at the Institute's shopping center in 30 minutes?" Ahri asked.
"Alright, I'll meet you there." Ezreal said.
"Okay~ Bye, Ezreal~!"
Ezreal hung up and changed.
A week later, Ezreal, Ahri, Kat, Talon, and Zed stood outside the door to Dream Talent.
"I guess our idol lives start now." Ezreal said.
He took a deep breath and opened the door.
The receptionist looked at them and smiled.
"Jared is waiting for you guys in the lounge." She said.
"Alright, thanks." Ezreal said.
Ezreal led them to the elevator, pushed 3F, and after a few seconds, they walked out into the lounge.
"Hey guys. Take a seat and we'll talk about your debut." Jared said.
The five of them sat on the couches and got comfortable.
"Alright guys. Today is January 15th, and we're planning on having you guys debut as a group towards the end of summer." Jared said.
"What do you mean when you say "as a group"?" Zed asked.
"You know how you guys auditioned as two separate groups?" Jared asked.
Zed nodded.
"You five are together, but this group is made up of two smaller subgroups – Ezreal's group being one and Ahri's group being the other." Jared explained.
"So when we debut, we'll be debuting as one group?" Zed asked.
"Correct." Jared answered.
"Before we go any further, you guys need to know what your group's name is. This group is going to be called CJ Entus. Ezreal's subgroup is going to be called CJ Entus Frost, while Ahri's subgroup is going to be called CJ Entus Blaze. The leader of Frost will be Ezreal, and the leader of Blaze will be Ahri. Ezreal and Ahri are the main vocalists, Talon and Kat are the rappers, and Zed will be the main dancer. Are there any objections to this setup?" Jared said.
Nobody objected.
"Okay, so as I was saying, the producers and I are planning on having CJ Entus debut towards the end of summer, so we have to get working on your debut song as soon as we can. Probably today." Jared said.
"Alright, if nobody has anything else to say, we'll meet with the producers in the recording rooms and begin work on the debut." Jared said.
The five of them followed Jared to the second floor, through the practice room, and into the first recording room on the left. Inside the room, Ezreal saw Sona and two other people.
"Hey guys, why don't you introduce yourselves to CJ Entus here?" Jared asked the producers.
The man wearing a polo and dark jeans got up and shook their hands.
"Hey guys, my name's Peter and I'm one of your producers here at Dream. I look forward to working with you guys, and hopefully we can make you the most popular idol group in Valoran!" he said, smiling.
Sona got up and bowed slightly to all of them.
"I'm sure you guys are already acquainted with Sona, and she's going to be one of your producers, but only part-time since she has work she has to do with Pentakill." Jared explained.
The other man got up and shook all of their hands.
"My name's Will, and I'll be working with you guys for your debut." He said.
"Okay, now that we have introductions done, you guys get to work on this debut. I'll get to work on hyping up CJ Entus so we can have an audience when we debut." Jared said.
And so, Jared left the room, leaving the five of them with the producers.
"Alright, let's not waste any time. We only have eight months until you debut, so we really have to work fast if we want the debut to go smoothly." Peter said.
Will pulled a few sheets of paper out of his bag and slid them over to CJ Entus.
"These are the lyrics to your debut song. Please check them to see if there is anything you would like to change, like to add, anything like that." Will said. He also took a few pencils out of his bag and slid them across the table.
"For this song, we decided to show everyone your mature side. Since everyone loved Kat and Talon's rapping, we also decided to give them more lines in this song. Zed, you won't get that many lines in this song, but I'll make sure you get more lines in other songs."
"No problem. I don't feel comfortable in my vocals, anyways." Zed replied.
Ahri picked up a pencil and started checking the lyrics. Because of her prior experience as an idol, Ezreal, Talon, Zed, and Kat just let her do whatever she wanted with the lyrics.
Ahri circled the title of the song, and put neat checks next to the names of the producers, their names, and the band name. She then ran a check for any spelling or grammar mistakes. She found no mistakes.
"Can I hear what the instrumental for this song sounds like?" Ahri asked.
"Sure." Peter said. He rolled his chair over to the AVM desk and chose the instrumental to the debut song. Ahri put on the headphones and began humming to herself what she thought the song would sound like.
A few minutes later, Ahri took off the headphones and walked back over to her bandmates.
"You guys have a look at the lyrics while listening to this instrumental, and tell me what you think." Ahri said.
A few headphones were passed around to the other four, and they listened to the instrumental.
After the song finished, Ezreal took off his headphones. "I think it's great." Ezreal said.
"Same." Talon added.
Zed and Kat just nodded.
"Great! We can start practicing the song with the instrumental one section at a time, so if you guys can get inside the mic room, and get ready, we can get started. I'll set up lyric sheets inside as well." Peter said. He got up, went into the mic room, and put a lyrics sheet on each of the five chairs. He adjusted the mics so it would be about mouth level when CJ Entus sat down.
Ahri, Ezreal, Talon, Zed, and Kat walked into the mic room.
"Alright, put on the headphones, and I'll start the song on the count of 3 after you give a signal, okay?" Peter said.
"Yep." Ahri answered.
The five of them sat down, put on the headphones, and looked at the lyrics sheet. Ezreal's part was first. Ahri gave Peter the signal through the window, and he counted down.
A/N: Practicing for debut~! Korean song setup, I don't own anything, etc. I'll stop this song REALLY early and have them practice parts at a time, since it is a practice session~
Song: 하.니.뿐(All Day I Think Of You) by 2PM
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A-All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각

(Only you) (Only you)
Peter gave the signal, and stopped the song.
"We're going to do that a few more times until you get the hang of this section, Ez." Ahri said.
Ezreal nodded.
A few minutes later, Ezreal was comfortable enough with this section, and they moved onto the next one, starting from the beginning.
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A-All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야

(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
After Ezreal's part ended, Talon had a rap verse.
너 땜에 하루 종일 아무 것도 못해
(Because of you, I can't do anything all day)
내 마음은 네게 뺏겨버린 것 같애
(It's as if you took my heart away)
마치 내 곁에 있는 것 같애
(It's as if you were right next to me)
내 머리 속은 어젯밤의 기억에 취해
(My head is drunk with thoughts of last night)
깨지를 못해 다 너 때문이야
(And I can't sober up, thanks to you)
미치겠어 너를 원해
(I'm going crazy, I want you)
가지고 싶어 만지고 싶어
(I want you, to have you, to touch you)
빠져들어 Deeper and Deeper
(I'm falling for you, deeper and deeper)
Kat's rap verse was right after Talon's.
내 몸과 마음이 끝없이 널 원해
(My body and heart endlessly desire you)
빨고 있던 사탕을 뺏긴 아이처럼
(I'm like a kid whos candy was taken away)
돌아버리겠어 뭘 해도 집중이 안돼
(I'm going crazy, what should I do)
맘이 딴 데 가있으니 뭐가 되겠어 안돼
(I can't focus, my mind is somewhere else)
도대체 내게 뭘 한 건데
(What exactly did you do to me?)
내가 이러는 게 말이 안돼
(It makes no sense that I'm acting like this)
Peter gave a signal and stopped the song again.
"Same thing, do this section a few times, start from the beginning, then we move onto the next section." Ahri said.
"Alright." Talon said.
A few hours later, they had finally gotten comfortable with the song and could sing it from the beginning all the way to the end, looking at the lyrics.
"One more time, then we'll try to sing this without the lyric sheet, okay?" Peter said.
The five of them nodded and Peter counted down again.
Ezreal started.
A/N: Going through the whole song this time~
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A_All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야

Talon was up next.
너 땜에 하루 종일 아무 것도 못해
(Because of you, I can't do anything all day)
내 마음은 네게 뺏겨버린 것 같애
(It's as if you took my heart away)
마치 내 곁에 있는 것 같애
(It's as if you were right next to me)
내 머리 속은 어젯밤의 기억에 취해

(I'm going crazy, I want you)
가지고 싶어 만지고 싶어
(I want you, to have you, to touch you)
빠져들어 Deeper and Deeper
(I'm falling for you, deeper and deeper)
Kat went right after Talon.
내 몸과 마음이 끝없이 널 원해
(My body and heart endlessly desire you)
빨고 있던 사탕을 뺏긴 아이처럼
(I'm like a kid whos candy was taken away)
돌아버리겠어 뭘 해도 집중이 안돼

(I can't focus, my mind is somewhere else)
도대체 내게 뭘 한 건데
(What exactly did you do to me?)
내가 이러는 게 말이 안돼
(It makes no sense that I'm acting like this)
Ahri's part was up next.
나를 보는 눈빛이 미칠 것 같애
(You drive me crazy when your eyes look at me)
야릇하게 미소를 지으면서
(You smile mysteriously at me)
내 이름을 불러주면서
(You say my name)
계속 눈을 맞춰
(And keep looking into my eyes)
내 이름을 불러주면서
(You say my name)
눈을 맞춰
(And you look at me)
Ezreal had a second part right after Ahri's.
스쳐가는 손길이 미칠 것 같애
(Your soft touch drives me crazy)
움직이질 못하게 하면서
(You take my breath away)
내 머릿결부터 목을 타고서 흘러내려
(Slipping from my hair down to my neck)
머릿결부터 목을 타고서 흘러내려
(Slipping from my hair down to my neck)
Ezreal went onto the chorus, with Zed singing background vocals for him.
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A-All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A-All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
Ahri took over for the second part of the chorus.
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A- All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(하 하) 하루 종일
(A-All) (All day I)
(니) 니 생각
(You) (Think of)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
(뿐이야) 뿐이야
(Only you) (Only you)
Kat started another rap verse.
니가 나를 바라보면
(When you look at me)
마치 전기가 흐르는 것 같아
(It feels like I'm getting electrified)
니가 나를 만지면 눈을 감고
(When you touch me, I close my eyes)
난 너의 향기를 맡아
(And smell your scent)
날아오르는 것만 같아
(I feel like I'm soaring)
내 몸과 마음이 다 타버리는 것 같아
(It seems like my body and my heart are burning)
니가 나타나는 순간부터 나는 미칠 것 같아
(From the moment you appear, I feel like I'm going crazy)
Talon went right after Kat.
헤어지자마자 니가 그리워
(As soon as you leave, I already miss you)
헤어지지 않게 둘이 멀리 어디로 떠날까
(Should we go far away so we can be together forever?)
내 모든 커리어 다 버리더라도 난 도리어
(Even if I had to throw away my whole career)
기쁠지도 모르겠다는 생각이
(I actually might be happy)
드는 걸 보니 몸의 맥박이 정상이 아닌 거야 I'm crazy
(My pulse isn't normal, I'm crazy)
That's what you do, please help me!
Ahri went after Talon.
나를 보는 눈빛이 미칠 것 같애
(You drive me crazy when you look at me)
야릇하게 미소를 지으면서 (woah~)
(You smile at me mysteriously) (woah~)
내 이름을 불러주면서 계속 눈을 맞춰
(You call my name and keep eye contact)
내 이름을 불러주면서 눈을 맞춰
(You call my name and make eye contact)
Ezreal went after Ahri.
스쳐가는 손길이 미칠 것 같애
(Your soft touch leaves me breathless)
움직이질 못하게 하면서
(You tie me up)
내 머릿결부터 목을 타고서 흘러내려
(You drip from my hair down to my neck)
머릿결부터 목을 타고서 흘러내려
(You drip from my hair down to my neck)
Ezreal went onto another chorus and started hitting the high notes.

Zed had a few lines after Ezreal's part. Ahri sang background vocals for him.
(All day~) I think about you, that's all I do
(All night~) I think about you, that's all I do
(All day~) I think about you, that's all I do
(All night~) I think about you, I think about you

Ahri sang the last chorus, while Ezreal sang in the background.

After they were done, they took off the headphones. The five of them walked out of the mic room and the producers congratualted them for a good job.
"Tomorrow, we'll be working on a few other songs, so we can release this debut song as part of a mini album. We'll finish up here, you guys can go leave now." Peter said.
"Make sure to be here tomorrow at 10!" Will said.
The five of them said their goodbyes and went back to the dorms.
Two hours later, Ezreal's phone rang. Ezreal looked at the caller ID and saw that Ahri was calling him. The swiped to the right and put the phone to his ear.
"Ezzy~, I'm booooooooored. Let's go to the shopping center together~!" Ahri said.
"Alright, alright, I'll go. Give me 30 minutes to get ready and I'll meet you in front of the shopping center, okay?" Ezreal said.
"Okay~ I'll see you in 30 minutes, then~" Ahri said. She hung up.
Ezreal took a quick shower and changed into fresh clothes. He got his shoes on and started walking over to the Institute's shopping center. When he got there, he looked around for Ahri, but the nine-tailed fox was nowhere to be found. Checking his watch, Ezreal realized that he was fifteen minutes early, and sat down at a bench to wait for Ahri. A few minutes later, Ezreal heard a familiar voice.
"Ezzy~!"
Ezreal looked up and the first thing he saw was Ahri's outfit. She was wearing a beige coat with fur on the collar, as well as a dark miniskirt and thigh-highs. Ezreal felt himself blush as he checked Ahri out.
"Ezreal~ My eyes are up here~"
Ezreal blushed harder as he looked away.
"L-Let's go…" Ezreal stammered.
Ahri giggled and went inside the shopping center with Ezreal.
After a few hours, Ezreal was carrying eight bags full of clothes.
"Ezzy~ Let's go to the arcade~!" Ahri said.
"Alright, let's go." Ezreal said.
Ezreal followed Ahri into the arcade. In the arcade, there was just about every game an arcade could possibly have, as well as a few photo booths set up in the back.
Ezreal went straight for the basketball game. He set down the bags, put a coin into the machine, and a few basketballs came forward. He grabbed one, took a second to get a feel for the ball, then took a shot. The ball flew into the hoop without touching the rim. Ezreal wasted no time grabbing another basketball and taking another perfect shot. He made a few more perfect baskets, but all of a sudden, the backboard moved farther away from Ezreal. 3-POINT RANGE was displayed on the screen. Ezreal smiled a little and took another shot. Like the ones before it, it flew right in without touching the rim. Ezreal scored a total of 27 points during the 3-point range period. The backboard moved back to its original position, and Ezreal kept making more and more perfect baskets. After a bit, the screen said GAME OVER and displayed Ezreal's score – 60 points. He smashed the last high score by 32 points.
"Wow, Ezreal. I didn't know you were this good at basketball." Ahri said.
"Talon and I play in the Institute on weekends." Ezreal said.
"You wanna play air hockey?" Ahri asked.
"Sure." Ezreal said.
Ezreal picked up the bags and brought them over to the air hockey table, Ahri put in a coin for herself and another one for Ezreal. A few seconds later, the puck dropped out on Ahri's side of the table. She picked up the puck, put in on the table, and hit it towards Ezreal's goal. She was a little off and it bounced off the wall and back over to her hit it back, and this time it actually looked like it was going to go in. Ezreal intercepted the puck perfectly, hitting it back over to Ahri's side and he watched as the puck went straight into the goal. Ahri pouted and puffed her cheeks out a little.
"You got lucky that time, Ezreal~!" Ahri said.
"Oh, we'll see about that." Ezreal answered.
Ahri got the puck out again and tried boucing the puck off the right wall and into Ezreal's goal. However, Ezreal was predicting that she would not try to go straight for the goal this time, and hit the puck straight back to Ahri. The puck floated around her side for a little, but she eventually hit it back. The puck bounced off the right wall and onto the left wall, then got through Ezreal's paddle to score Ahri a goal.
"I told you, Ezzy~! You got lucky that one time~" Ahri said.
Ezreal looked at her and laughed. He got the puck back out, and he hit it hard against the right wall, and somehow it went into the goal.
Ahri smirked.
"So that's how you're gonna play, huh?" she said.
She put the puck back onto the table and faked a hit to the right, then bounced it off the left wall. Ezreal reacted quickly and hit it back over to Ahri's side. Ahri sent it straight back to Ezreal, and they went like this for a few more seconds. The puck flew over to Ahri, but she swung too early and it flew right into the goal. The screen on the side of the table indicated that time was up, and Ezreal won, 3 to 1.
"GG easy, scrub." Ezreal said, jokingly.
"This is why you belong in Bronze 5." Ahri teased back.
They both laughed at the times they were controlled by incompetent summoners in Bronze.
Suddenly, Ahri saw something that caught her attention and ran right over to it.
"Ahri?" Ezreal asked.
Ezreal walked over to where Ahri was, and saw that she was in the section for claw games. Ahri had her face pressed up against the glass of a machine and was looking at something inside.
When Ezreal walked over, Ahri turned to him and pointed at something inside the machine.
"Ezreal, I want one~" Ahri said.
Ezreal took a look inside the machine. There were a lot of stuffed animals, including Baron pillows and Lulu plushies.
"You know these claw games are designed to be impossible, right?" Ezreal said.
Ahri gave Ezreal a pair of sad puppy eyes that would make even the coldest man's heart wrench in guilt. After a few seconds, Ezreal gave into Ahri's adorable puppy eyes and breathed a sigh of exasperation.
"Alright, alright, which one do you want?" he asked.
"Hmm…." Ahri took another looked inside the machine, scanning for anything specific she might want.
"Poro~!" Ahri said.
Ezreal put money into the machine and grabbed the control stick. He spied an exposed Poro plushie in the far corner of the machine, and started moving the claw over to that side of the machine. Once he determined that the claw was in the right spot to grab the Poro, he pushed the button and watched as the claw descended on the stuffed Poro. Luckily, the claw got a somewhat firm grip it and Ezreal watched as the claw made its way back over to the hole. Just when it looked like the Poro would drop back into the pile of stuffed animals, the claw moved over the hole and deposited the Poro into the hole for Ezreal to retrieve. Thankful he didn't have to do this all over again, Ezreal bent down and got the Poro for Ahri.
Ezreal handed the Poro over and Ahri gave Ezreal a hug.
"Thanks, Ezreal~" Ahri said.
Ezreal blushed and looked at the ground.
"I-It's nothing…" Ezreal stammered.
"Don't worry, consider this practice for when you get a real girlfriend~!" Ahri said, teasingly.
Ezreal blushed hard and looked away.
Ahri put the Poro into one of her bags and pulled out her phone to check the time.
"Oh, god. It's late." She said.
Ezreal looked over at Ahri's phone.
"Yeah, you're right. We should be heading back now. Come on, I'll walk you to your room." Ezreal said.
Ahri blushed slightly and nodded.
When they got outside, it was almost dark. The sun was just about to finish setting, and soon enough, the streetlights flickered on.
As they walked back to the dorms, Ahri noticed some guys giving her weird stares. From the looks of it, they were obviously up to no good. Ahri held onto Ezreal's hand a little tighter and the two of them walked a little faster towards Ahri's room.
When they reached Ahri's section of the building, Ezreal put some bags down and held the door open for Ahri. Once she was inside, Ezreal held the door open for himself using his foot and brought the bags inside. They walked up together to Ahri's room, and she unlocked the door.
"Don't worry Ezreal, you can come in." Ahri said.
Ezreal entered Ahri's room and put the bags next to her bed. He looked around the room, and it was just as girly as he had imagined. Everything was neatly organized, and there was a large mirror sitting against a wall, next to a makeup kit.
"Alright, I should get going then." Ezreal said.
"Alright, thanks for everything Ezreal, I mean it." Ahri said, smiling.
"Bye."
"Bye~"
The door cloosed and Ahri looked down at her bags. She took out the Poro plushie and put it on her bed. She then put all the clothes they bought today into the closet before taking a shower, changing into pajamas, turned the lights off, and got into bed. She had to get up early in the morning to work on the debut, anyways.
Once she was in bed, she put the Poro plushie next to her and went to sleep. She had a feeling that she would remember this day for a long time.
